“In July of 2020, i made my way up to Vermont as an escape into nature from the raging pandemic. For a week, i wandered the woods and parks in the Burlington and surrounding areas, carrying my easel and paints as a backpack. I went to my comfort places. I breathed in fresh air and had my feet in the dirt, sand and water. At a time when the nation was sick, in more ways than one, Vermont fed me comfort food.”
